Welcome to Monday’s learning Year 2. I hope that you all had a great sleep and are ready for the day ahead.
Phonics
I understand that the phonics videos are now repeating themselves because all of the sounds have been taught. If you feel that revisiting these sounds is worthwhile for your child, please do keep accessing the videos using the link below:
Reading
Continue reading and quizzing on books using the Accelerated Reading and Epic Reading resources. Help can be found in the ‘How to help your child’ section of my page if you need it.
Remember, you should be reading for at least half an hour each day. Also try to read both a range of fiction and non-fiction books.
It also isn’t too late to sign up for the Epic Reading resource. If you would like access to a huge range of books, some with quizzes, please send an email to l.woodend@ourladystarofthesea.lancs.sch.uk. This will enable me to send you an invite to create an account.
English
Amazing birds! Prepare to be amazed! Over the next couple of weeks, enjoy finding out all about our amazing feathered friends, using a range of texts, online resources and articles.
Day 1
Discuss with your child: What do you already know about birds? What questions might you have about birds? E.g. Can all birds fly? What is the smallest/ biggest bird in the world? Where do birds live? Over the next two weeks, your research will hopefully help you in answering some of your questions! Ask your child to write down any questions they may have, reminding them to use question marks.
Watch What are Birds? https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/topics/z6882hv/articles/zyd6hyc
Ask, what do you know about birds now? Watch the clip a few times, each time pausing to allow your child to record key facts. Perhaps you could record different facts on sticky notes and make a fact poster.
Now watch All About Birds: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jF0Id-hH9y4
Record more key facts on sticky notes. Have any of your questions been answered already? Begin to pick out some new words and talk about their meaning, e.g. vertebrates, bill, habitat, camouflage.
Use Word Hippo: https://www.wordhippo.com/ to look up new words and find out what they mean. Practise putting any new words into new sentences.

Times tables
Click here for a website which will help you to practise your times tables even more. You can create a free account which will enable you to see which medals you have collected along the way. Remember in Year 2, our main tables to focus on are 2, 5 and 10, but you could have a go at 3s too for an extra challenge.
Don’t forget to check the weekly challenges for more learning!
Enjoy your day,
